Although you have different interests and hobbies, you can give space to each other. When meeting difficulties, you can face and solve them together. If you try to find something in common, you will become more intimate. If you wanna obtain a happy marriage life, you both need to abandon your childish thoughts and become mature enough to take responsibilities.

EFF, you have pretty good luck in work this year. Work hard and there is very likely to be salary increase.
You are lucky in your love life as well. If you are single, it is very possible for you to find a partner this year. If you are in a sweet relationship right now, maybe you can think about getting married. :)
